SINGULAR MANNERISNiS
AT an Otherwise Enjoyable Ben
eft Concert, Last Night.


About the m st important event at
the benefit concert rendered Miss Annie
Wilson,u the plan t Dyer's music
hall, was the frs fp france of Herr
Carl WeStrum, viOin. ,.oiSt, lately from
Berlin, Germany, before Minneapolis
audience. Herr WeStrum has been
duly advertised and favorably noticed,
but, III justice to music and culture, it
can not be truthfully sad that
he is very remarkable player.
He at once shows the dig
nltied bearing of classic musical
learning, and arduous patience in prac-
tice and study, but he does not possess
the thrilling power of David Bimberg
to sway an audience, nor can he be COM
pared to that prince of violinists, Vein
berg, of Milwaukee, at one time a resi-
said, after his playing a solo next to the
great master of the North, Ladies' and
gentlemen. l am surpassed" Yet Carl
Westrum is cultured player, and
as teacher it is certain he
would be a great success. He be-
haved rather strangely on the
stage. In rendering Legendes-Wieni-
awski, he stopped in the middle and re-
tired to the ante-room. At first it was
supposed he was ill, but he returned in
Il second beaming with smiles. In play
ing the seventh number, Spanish airs,
he repeated the same behavior, this
time speaking to his accompanied, and
the merriment caused was audible all
over the house 1t may be added his
efforts were warmly appreciated by the
audience, but Carl Westrum must not
think that studying atBerlin or any other
old world school necessarily makes
man genius. He could learn world
of musical knowledge as soloiSt from
either of those brilliant SONS of the
Northwest-David Bimberg or Emil
Weinberg.
Miss Wilson played in brilliant
style the Am Lorely Fels'' (by the
LOreley rock, Raft, and also the Nor
wegian carnival music, Grieg, but in the
sixth number, ballade, Chopin, whether
from WEAKNESS or some other cause the
little lady did not seem to reach out to
her usual high artistic standard. The
remaining artists, Mis- Lillian Stoddard,
SOprano; Prof. a. w. Porter, baritone;
and Prof. II. S. Woodruff, pianist, all
distinguished themselves in their sew
eral parts. The audience was a large
and seemingly charmed one. At the
conclusion pleasant lunch was enjoyed

Yesterday afternoon the council COM

materials without authority from the
city. The members of the committee

Sykes. who was at St. Cloud. to come
on here. but he did not appear at the
meeting, nor was he represented,
although Mr.. Rinker said he had since
learned that Sykes was in the city. 2.
Myers said he was not the
first to prefer the charges and
thought MeSSrS. Sleeper and Sherborn
should be called first. c. X. Sherburne
and c. Is. Sleeper were accordingly
called, but their evidence was just
repetition Of what they gave at
previous meeting.
Meyers then testified that 533 loads of
sand We're taken to the university and
1S2 to other points. the total value be-
ing $3.50. About $40 worth of stone
was taken to New Boston. Myers adj
mltted collecting over Sl3 of this money
and handed it to Sykes.
Van DuZee of the engineering depart
ment said that he had only received SO
from Sykes.
J. Bryant testified that he knew of
some dirt being hauled on Fifteenth
avenue. also that there was one man
sent of from the sewer job for three
days to build a cistern for somebody,
but got paid from the city all the same
for those three days. The dirt was
used in filling up stable
and was paid for and there was the city
receipt to show for it. A man by the
name of Drscoll said ne had carted
away Seventy-five loads of black dirt on
his own teams, not those of Sykes. He
didn't know. nor did he believe, there
was any crookedness intended. Myers
repeated his old story, and the whole
business seemed to amount to this:
Eeracity between Myers and the rest of
those VINO testified. The hearing was
adjourned till 10 o'clock Friday.
